** Proposal -- a TL;DR version of Terms of Service **
For the attention starved crowds. Numerous nowadays.
Modelled on the impressive ideas on https://koyu.space/terms
Revised Lightly by this writer and brought for consideration.
------[ idea starts ]------
Terms of Service
TLDR: Qoto dot org has a zero-tolerance policy for racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of discriminatory and bigoted conduct. You must be 16 years of age or older to access Qoto dot org (as defined by GDPR). Please CW any nudity, sexually graphic, or violent imagery. Please don't harass other fediverse users. Sexual harassment is an instant ban. We reserve the right to suspend your account at any time.
------[ And that's the short version, all in ONE para ]-----
Snapshot of @koyu@koyu.space own version below.
With many thanks and kudos for an inspiring leadership.

Why criticism and opinion over anything treated as phobia? @freemo
>> Why criticism and opinion over anything treated as phobia?
Some people don't see it as a problem and it avoids a lot of problems for an instance.
Reputational Damage is a thing, and hard to repair.
There are places where free expression of opinions, regarless of other's opinions and sensitivities, are prime concern.
I personally would avoid such places.
@koyu@koyu.space @freemo
@design_RG Intresting I don't have any problem with those rules but why naming them as phobia.
@koyu@koyu.space @freemo
@design_RG Have a better version of it
These rules simply give power to admin, whether he likes certain opinion or not.
eg, I posted a link to issue over Trans women participating with biological women than you will consider it transphobic based on community reaction.

I like the current ToS, 'but generally unpopular opinions voiced respectfully will be fine'.
π³π±
I'd say any TL;DR should focus on that point as a first order principle (even before the no hate speech part), it is effectively where our free speech aspect comes from.
@vibhi @design_RG @koyu@koyu.space
Open to suggestions, please post a revised draft of your own conception(s).
i'd mostly like to hear from the community either in support or opposition to your own proposal before I insert any final edits.

@bonifartius @freemo I joined earlier because the rules seemed simple and were not overly restrictive or illogical like other instances I've seen. No disrespect towards other instances intended. I just greatly value the ability to dissent with others and have discussions and debates.
@bonifartius Thanks. I am pretty happy with them so far.
